Fructose Malabsorption Diet



We have a son with Fructose Malabsoprtion and Lactose Intolerance.  
When he was diagnosed it was nearly impossible for me to find information quickly online.
Everything I read was contradicting and it made me want to give up, or maybe just slam my head against a brick wall several times.  Even now cooking and shopping take a lot of thought.  I made a list for our own family with ideas and approved foods for an easy reference for me or somebody taking care of my child.  I thought I would post it because I want other's searching to be able to find something.  After all I know how challenging it can be.
This is in no way medical information, and may not be what works for individuals with similar issues, however it is what has worked for us at least as it  usually works for my son.

  2. We have a lot of food allergies at our home too. It's a great idea to list out what they can and can't have like this. One question, I read honeydew melon is a no-no for fructose malabsorption so we avoid it. Is that not the case? I see you have it listed as "unlimited". Just curious.
